Since I am not paying for a brand new set of rotors and brake pads, I don't really want to bother my mom with the hassle of paying online and waiting.

I just went to Napa and Car Quest. Holy hell, they were charging $750ish fronts, $650ish back for the brembos. No one carried Stop-techs.

OMG! I like how she completely says miles per hour yet doesn't understand that its a rate of time. I mean it isn't hard to do math and realize that if your moving at 75 mph your going 60 miles in 45 minutes haha. Gotta love that everything is 60... Technically if your moving at 40 mph you are going SLOWER than a mile a minute. She apparently doesn't quite understand the question itself and is over thinking it

Haha! That's why I said I wouldn't even bother going to them and asking. They will charge you full price. Kinda like buying a car at sticker knowing very well there is 4k in markup/margin in it. Talk to Lance, he literally was just quoting prices for people a few pages back on rotors and pads actually! I'd go back a couple pages and see. I just remembered

Haha yea you were doing great! I would have felt more comfortable if it weren't labor day weekend and on open roads. Plus I had Shannan in the car so I didn't wanna be too crazy since it was really her first time in this position....I want to break her in easy and not make her want to stay away from future events
